Can say the same thing: Queue hardcore defense force in 3, 2, 1....
Seriously, what did they expect? Version 2.0 still a year away, but reinstating subscription fees to let people pay for them fixing the game further to an actual release version? (v.2.0) They should have waited til Version 2.0, relaunch the game and THEN reinstate subscription fees. Sorry, but SE makes a bucketload of money as Games Publisher alone already. They have plenty of cash! So could have easily waited till version 2.0 to reinstating the subscription fee. |

I look forward to trying FF14 again when 2.0 hits and hope this helps the current population in the meantime.

Players come for the game, but they stay for the people- Most Devs have forgotten this. |

I have to agree with this. I want to play this game, but I won't until 2.0, and I won't pay a sub for a beta untilit happens. |

They should have just done what Trion did and turn those 9 servers into "Trial servers". ^_^

Originally posted by Akais Well what MMO doesn't improve since launch? The real question would be, what exactly didn't you like about the game and whether Square has made changes to remedy that?

I would clean up the grammer in a news article. It seems like this was directly translated from a a language other than english. |

Originally posted by Ingvar Another clueless one, the word is critics. Hate is an awfully strong word. To dislike something is not to hate it. This game still has a long way to go. I don't think it is worthy of a sub yet. |

It's good b/c when they release version 2.0 they will open new servers for ps3 players and returning pc players. this way most people will be able to play on a fresh server and not having broken economy with some old timers who gathered milions of gil.

I was one of those who left after they started to charge monthly fee. Not worth a dime but as F2P it was tolerable. Then SWTOR released and EQ2 came up with AOD expansion and i haven't looked back since. I am happy spending double monthly fee on SWTOR and EQ2 but i wouldn't spend one penny on FFXIV. That is how bad this game is. You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty -- Mahatma Gandhi

Originally posted by Akais It runs more smoothly. Still not great, but not half as terrible as it was during beta. Other than that I didn't notice anything different from when I tried it again last December.
(is it just me or does almost every NPC's mouth look too big in this game now?) |

Originally posted by Master10K I'll make a list. UI was awful. Clunky, slow poorly optimized just all around bad Was unable to set controls to the specifications that FFXI has as default, WTF is that about? This is an absolute must! Content was very repetative. Just another quest hub fetch quest system with a diff name slapped on. Guildleves? The amount of content was lacking very lacking. Hardly any NMs, very little storyline and mission content. Repetitive combat. Meaning I had to spam 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 3 over and over their remedy to auto attack was far worse than auto attack ever was. Is that one city open yet? Ishgard I think it's called? Is that supposed to be the new Jeuno? Not enough mage classes, really just two? The final fantasy "Universe" has tons and tons of mages yet they have two? No auction house and whatever system they had in it's place was just inconvenient and silly. Did they do anything to fix it? Those are just a few things, I remember being irriated with more. Really the only thing I liked was it still had that Final Fantasy feel and the graphics were very nice. Other than that I couldn't stomach it for more than an hour or two. Yet I can still play FFXI for and entire weekend and still want more Monday afternoon. Just remembered, I also really liked the class system and being able to switch on the fly and keep certain abilities from other jobs, that was really cool. The crafting and gathering systems were both a huge improvement compared to ffxi as well.

Honestly, they should have just cut their loses and shut it down. It seems like some misguided effort to save face. To me, they haven't had one since 7 anyway.
As always, just my opinion. |
